tyme Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 (edited) 1.Is it legal to make a copy of Mandriva Powerpack Instalation DIsk, and give it to my friends, or other user ?2.Is it legal to make a copy of Mandriva Powerpack Instalation DIsk, and sell it ? No. The powerpack contains some proprietary software that can not be freely distributed and is not under the GPL. 3.Is it legal to install my Mandriva Powerpack to another PC ?As long as you own the PC.4.Is it legal to Install my Mandriva Powerpack to my friend computer ?5.Is it legal to download from torrent or p2p, an old version Mandriva Powerpack, eg Mandriva Powerpack 2007.0 or Mandriva Powerpack 2006.0 ? No. My answers are best guesses, I, as well as everyone here (save one user - adamw) do not work for Mandriva. The EULA for the Mandriva Powerpack would give you more complete answers as to what you can do once you have legally purchased a copy. Most simply though, if you did not pay for it, you can not legally use it. That's what Mandriva One is for :) Edited April 7, 2008 by tyme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
